On the day of the sleepover, Mimi lost her tooth. As she is nearing 11 I am not exactly sure if she believes in the "tooth fairy" or is just milking it for what it's worth (current rate: $5.00 a tooth). However, I did not want to potentially embarrass her by having the fabled fairy exchange enamel for cash while her friends were over so I set it aside for another day.
Which means.... I forgot.
Cue to tonight when Mimi and Max returned home. I approached her with a $5.00 and explained that since she was busy with her friends the tooth fairy didn't want to bother her so here.
Mimi looked at me and the money with a smile and ran to her room to put it in her piggy bank (which is really a ceramic cupcake, but, whatevs.....) About five minutes later she walks into my room and hands me the baggie containing her tooth and with a hint of a smirk she said:
"Here, Mommy.... make sure you get your money back."
